Third Wheel is a gritty, heart-wrenching coming-of-age thriller of betrayal, redemption, and the search for hope in the morally gray desert suburbs of 1980s Las Vegas.
In the dusty suburbs of a mob-built town, fourteen-year-old Brady Wilks, a transplant from Cleveland, is desperate to escape his fractured home and find where he belongs. Reeling from his father’s suicide and his mother’s cruelty, he forges a fragile brotherhood with older teen Mick and his friend Brett.
But when Brett moves away and Mick welcomes Alex, a magnetic but dangerous drug dealer, Brady’s newfound friend group unravels. Sucked into a world of cartel-fueled deals and mob shadows, Brady faces choices that could cost him everything — his friends, his impossible romance with Cheryl, and even his life.
